That could very well be some sort of opal. Roller bronze is usually on a dark check and is the usually the result of Recessive Red in the bird. I am by no means an expert on color but that bird has the bronze that my Miniature crest have. You wont find that bronze in rollers I have been told. Joe Urbon

I spoke to my buddy that is much more versed on the genetics and color factors and he says that that birds is blue check carrying dominant opal.and not a good looking one at that.( his words not mine) LOL. Indigo would have the blue bar tail as this does but would look more like a red check and have the indigo throughout the neck also. Says he has birds at home that look just like him. Joe

Thats a good looking bird Hector. It looks more like roller bronze to me. The thing that is throwing me is that he says the bird had only a couple spots of bronze a couple years ago. The bronze on your bird looks more bronze and his bird looks a lot more sooty.I really dont know Hector or give ahoot one way or the other just more curious than anything. Joe
